5 / 118 resultscommunity Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
community 5+ year users, what has your experience been on fin and dut?
Users discussed their experiences with hair loss treatments, primarily finasteride (Fin) and dutasteride (Dut), often combined with minoxidil (Min) and derma rolling. Many reported mixed results, with some seeing slowed hair loss and others experiencing side effects or minimal improvement.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community DHT results after 1 year on dutasteride, confused and seeking guidance
The user is experiencing rapid hair loss despite using dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil, and is concerned about high estradiol and testosterone levels. They are advised to consult an endocrinologist for potential hormonal imbalances.
community 5ARI (dutasteride) Associated with Adverse Metabolic Effects
Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.
